Troubles with Kohler Courage 23 HP Twin
Shut it off, let it cool down and re-started it to bring into the shop. Seemed to run OK. Checked oil - it was overfilled. Drained about a quart and motor appeared to run OK but oil was too thin - almost like there was gas mixed in and diluting it.

A condenser used to be in the old style distributer, a cheap item that was changed about every other time the `points` were changed. At a guess if you had a spare plug, run the engine until it stopped then take of one of the plug leads and connect your spare plug.

r/smallengines on Reddit: Kohler Command 23 no start
April 29, 2023 -
I have an JD l130 -Kohler Command 23 with a no start issue. It's sputtered and came back a few times and then died.
It cranks healthily. Tried to bump it with some starter fluid and it didn't even try to start with that.
Pulled both spark plugs and they both Arc blue to the engine. Appears to have good compression. Ran like a champ before this.
I'm wondering if the coil could be bad but not fully failed?
Any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

So you have 2 coils, so you'd think one of them should work. Flywheel key sheared?

Air spark and fuel. What's it not getting? Checked your air filter? How old is the fuel? What do the plugs look like? Black? White? Brand New? I thought the idea of the coil having enough to create a spark but maybe not a strong one, however you'd think it'd start on one and you wouldn't think both would be going like this at the same time. Try removing the spark plugs and rolling it over a few times with the key switch, as if you're starting it. Have a look for fuel coming out the spark plug holes. My last suggestion is to remove the carb bowl for a better inspection. If you find any gel type substance it's probably due for a freshen up at the least. You can try soaking it in an ultrasonic if you remove the entire carb. Best of luck!
